Dress Codes Cons

The topic of whether or not school uniforms should be allowed has always been highly debated. The reason why it is such a hot topic is because it pertains to a student’s individuality and the possible benefits they may bring. This is something that has sparked a bit of friction in the education world. Hours and hours of research have been poured into this subject in order to find a definitive answer. If the research has proved anything, it is that school uniforms are ineffective and they restrict self-expression. Contrary to popular belief, school uniforms do not provide the benefits that many claim they do. School uniforms simply don’t work in the real world.

For years, schools all over the nation have been debating whether or not a dress code should be enforced. With many different opinions and thoughts about this topic, there is evidence to support both sides. Students, parents, and teachers all have opinions and ideas about dress code, but when it all comes down to it there is one simple question: Should schools have dress codes? After reviewing different sources, obvious results have shown that dress codes and uniforms have done more good than harm and have improved many different aspects of the learning environment.

Several altercations have occurred in today’s decade with dress codes in schools. Girls are being called out of the classroom in the middle of a lesson and even slut shammed by teachers and administration. Dress codes have gone from a way to keep children safe from gang-related violence and bullying from peers, to sexist comments and unfair punishments. Even though dress codes provide structure in schools, dress codes can provoke sexism and cause low self-esteem.

School dress codes have been a topic of controversy for a long time now. Times have changed and many people have become accustomed to the new societal “norms.” However, many School Board of Trustees are failing “to revise a decades-old dress code” (“Gender Equal”) which in result is creating tensions between the students and the school faculty. Although some people believe that school dress codes do not need to be revised, numerous amount of students are unhappy and are taking action against the unfairness they face. School districts need to update and modernize their strict and out-of-date dress codes to better accommodate the changing society in which students are becoming more comfortable in expressing who they

Schools dress codes are there to protect the learning environment, and often have to have people to enforce the dress code. I think school dress codes are overly strict, and they are kind of sexist. School dress code shouldn't be as strict because students should be able to express themselves through clothing, and so they don’t have to struggle to find something to wear that is dress code.

The educational system has been established to teach students to apply themselves to their work and build individuality. Having a dress code violates a student's self-expression. When wearing uniforms, it is

Over the past thirty years, the debate of if a school should require a uniform has raged on. Some institutions have had judiciary action taken against them over disagreements on what is appropriate for students to wear. Schools should not be concerned on what students choose to wear, but instead on what they are teaching. Ultimately, the main goal of academies is for pupils to reach their full academic capacity. By implementing a uniform requirement, educational faculty are given the ability to focus on their teachings. Eliminating student choice in clothing will allow enforcing the dress code to be simplified, bullying and peer pressure to be reduced, as well as lessen the financial burden imposed on families.

A major challenge students face today is dress code. Dress codes unfairly target students based on gender and body type, but more specifically targets female students. Every school has a different dress code. But most dress codes ban leggings, shorts and short skirts, and bare midriffs. Dress codes make girls think that they are the problem, when it really is not.

Dress codes and uniforms help ensure that young men and women are dressing appropriately. However, despite the fact that uniforms excite many, people forget about the cons that come along in the package. Although dress codes and uniforms reassure parents since they guarantee that their kids dress correctly, uniforms and dress codes provide many difficulties. Not only are they costly, it would upset students that cannot express themselves and it would prove to be incredibly boring to wear the same types of clothing every day.

Almost all school have dress codes and there are some problems with them. BELTS, we are not required to where belts in school. You may think it’s not a big problem but it is because kids sag there pants all the time because they don’t have belts. It would not be a problem if we didn’t have to see there under where and privates all the time. It’s also addicting because when you start dressing a certain way it can be hard to change. Finally smaller kids see it and think it’s cool and start doing it and it can all be avoided if we just had to where belts.

Dress codes in schools were originally put into place to prevent students from dressing inappropriate clothes that would distract from their learning, while still allowing students to express themselves freely. However, these days, schools are enforcing dress codes that differ greatly from their original purpose. Schools shouldn’t be able to enforce dress codes because they’re unreasonable, they waste people’s time, and they enforce sexist ideals.

Dress codes should be required in the school systems around the world for students. School systems have caused and dealt with these issues for numerous years.

Dress codes have always been taken into great consideration, but now they are becoming an immense part of school requirements. For years, some schools have created stricter dress code rules, while others have made more accessible rules. Part of the administration considers shaping a stricter dress code, but others disagree. Yes, students should continue to make smart choices about their clothing, but a stricter dress code would only result in more problems. We should have our original dress code remain and not make any changes to it because it would restrict students from expressing their feelings, and some dress code rules can be sexist toward girls.

There are far more dress codes for females than there are for males, and it's stupid. To add onto those ridiculously placed rules, there was some even more ridiculous cases of them. These include: Tessa Wilson from Springstead High School in Florida, she was sent home for wearing a tank top UNDER a jacket. Cam Boland, a 17 year-old, was giving a speech at a different school for National Honors Society. They took her NHS title because she was wearing a spaghetti strap dress while she gave the speech, (she was wearing a jacket but due to the weather being warm, she took it off). Finally, Stephanie Dunn, from Woodford County High School, was sent home for wearing a cardigan and a tank top, which her annoyed mother offered to bring a large scarf to add on top of that but, the school still decided that this was not okay. These all seem campy and fake to even be real, dress codes shouldn't be at a certain aim for a certain group of people, they should all be equal to everyone. We should have to worry about proper education and proper learning rather than what we are wearing and what other people perceive has what is good to wear and what is not good to wear. Dress codes are not important (also they're very bias) and they should be abolished.

There has always been something up with the rights and roles women have in society. They receive objectification for almost everything they attempt and are told to fit into these roles that men aren’t even asked to try. We are told and taught from a young age to act a certain way or receive certain consequences. We fear cat calls for trying to look good for our own confidence, and are shut down for trying to dress the way we want because of a “lack of modesty”. The way women dress is highly criticized, and it doesn’t only go for older women, but for younger girls as well. Regarding dress codes, although some see it as a means to keep “drama” down and students concentrated in class, most to all school dress codes limit a female’s ability to express herself through her clothing. This is a matter that needs to be changed.
